Reverse Linked List II
Explore how to reverse a segment of a singly linked list defined by two positions, left and right. Understand the problem constraints and practice implementing an in-place reversal solution, enhancing your ability to manipulate linked lists efficiently in coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given a singly linked list with nodes and two positions, left and right, the objective is to reverse the nodes of the list from left to right. Return the modified list.
Constraints:
-
n -
Node.Value -
leftrightn

Understand the problem
Let’s take a moment to make sure you’ve correctly understood the problem. The quiz below helps you check if you’re solving the correct problem:
Reverse Linked List II
What is the output if the following linked list and left and right values are given as input?
linked list = 8 → 0 → 6 → 1 → 0 → 7 → 8 → 2
left = 1, right = 5
2 → 8 → 7 → 0 → 1 → 6 → 0 → 8
8 → 0 → 6 → 2 → 8 → 7 → 0 → 1
0 → 1 → 6 → 0 → 8 → 7 → 8 → 2
0 → 8 → 6 → 1 → 0 → 7 → 8 → 2
Figure it out!
